I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing.

Last week, we won £615 million back for schools. But we’re not stopping just yet. With the spending review coming on June 11, we’re looking to move all of our MPs and tell them to pressure the Chancellor to prioritise school funding. Will you join me? actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Take action to stop new school cuts
Tell your MP to write to Chancellor Reeves and insist that she stop the new cuts and begin reversing more than a decade of austerity.

The issues facing the post-16 sector can't be ignored by the government. Despite victories, pay remains low, with worse conditions and no collective bargaining
On day 2 of #NEU2025, conference passed a motion to continue campaigning for national bargaining and greater unity with our sister unions.

Oversea trained teachers (OTT) are essential to our education workforce.

At #NEU2025 delegates voted to ramp up the union's opposition to the far right.
Education needs to be at the fore front of countering the racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric pedaled by parties like Reform.

Several large MATs had retention rates of 75% or lower at the end of the 2022-23 school year, meaning that at least a quarter of staff left schools in those MATs. The large MAT with the worst retention rate was Unity Schools Partnership (71.9%). #NEU2025

It’s important that early career teachers (ECTs) know their rights and get the proper time to learn and develop.
Share our NEU resources which raise awareness of what ECTs should be getting. No ECT should be placed on a support plan!👉 bit.ly/3RiSrVm
